Method

Step 1

Prepare the mustard aioli. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients together and mix well, until well combined. Season with salt and pepper; set aside for later use.

Step 2

Prepare the red wine vinaigrette. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients, except for the olive oil. Slowly stream in the olive oil, whisking constantly until the dressing emulsifies. Season the mixture with salt and pepper; set aside for later use.

Step 3

Assemble the sandwich. Slice the bread in half and toast it. Open the roll and spread the mayonnaise evenly on the top and bottom layers, followed by the mustard aioli. Roll the mortadella slices into mini rolls and put it across the bottom, followed by provolone cheese and tomatoes. Spread the iceberg lettuce across the top, drizzle with red wine vinaigrette, then season with salt and pepper. Slice in half and serve immediately.
